No Documentation for Paper Capture in Acrobat 6 Professional

Do not understand why 'paper capture' yields no results in the local or online help for Acrobat 6 professional. Never used it and would like to find documentation on its use.

Try OCR. They changed the name. Furthermore, they keep moving the selections around. For instance, Reduce File Size is no longer under the File menu (it was introduced with AA6), but has moved on with AA8 and 9 to other menus. I suspect you will be able to find OCR under a slightly different menu in Pro. It works the same way as the old Paper Capture plugin did. Be sure you tell it what kind of conversion you want and that the resolution is between 200 and 600 dpi as I recall. Colors can sometimes be an issue I think. It is also common for folks to do the OCR as part of a scan with the newer Acrobats.

  • Paper Capture Recognition Service error

    I have a user, using a HP Scanjet N8460 series scanner.
    We are trying to put our documents into PDF for storage, and so have a lot to do.
    She reported to me that out of 50 scans, 15 times, she got the following error:
    "Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture Recognition Service experienced an error"
    I did not see anything in the FAQ's about it. Is this something that is known, can someone give me some direction in resolving?
    Thanks

    How is the paper capture (or OCR) being used? If you are trying to archive documents, you would only want to use it for developing search funtions. In any case, the quality of the text will dictate how well the OCR works and that is a major problem if you are actually replacing graphics text with OCR text. What I am suggesting is that you need to carefully look at your work flow and the desired output before you put much more time into this. Try some samples and look at the results. OCR is not required, but does allow searching (at least if the OCR is half-way decent. However, it can be hidden text (best for archiving) or replace the graphic (usually not a good idea when archiving).
    I am assuming that you are doing all of this through Acrobat and thus the paper capture is within Acrobat. Some scanners do OCR also and it can be important to determine which you are getting.
    More information on exactly how you are using Acrobat to perform the processing you are doing would be useful. I am just guessing on what you are doing. Also, Paper Capture in Acrobat was changed in name several versions back, so it sounds like you are using AA5, but I have no clue for sure. All that would help us help you.

  • Paper capture no asian support

    Hi all, I have Acro Std 7.1. I want to recognize document in chinese using ocr. Install does not contain asian languages. When I go to "modify", I see only roman languages available for install for paper capture. I even have no chance to select asian languages. What can I do? Thanks.

  • API for Shared Review in Acrobat SDK

    Hi,
    I would like to implement the functionality for Shared Review programmatically.
    Right now we need to open each pdf file select Comments -> Send for Shared Review in Acrobat Professional and follow the steps in wizard.
    I am looking at achieving the above steps programmatically so that I need not open each pdf individually and run through the wizard. For this, is there any API available either in Acrobat 8.1 or 9.0 SDK which I can make use of and build an automatic service.
    A swift response is appreciated.
    Thanks & regards,
    Rajeev

    is there (today - 2011) really still no API for that?
    Also not in LiveCycle Server?
    Thanks,

  • When Acrobat 3D versus Acrobat Professional

    I am looking to just publish interactive and animated drawings, mostly from SolidWorks, to the web. From the (appreciated) feedback I have gotten, it sounds like I really only need Acrobat Professional to do this, although with Acrobat Professional I *may* only be able to convert .u3d files which I am assuming most CAD applications can produce. Is there any benefit in this case for me to use Acrobat 3D? It sounds like 3D provides the benefits of collaboration and shared mark-ups, but for publishing interactive content Acrobat professional can do it.
    Also, if interested, I am possibly looking at building an animation as seen here http://www.interfaceinnovations.com/build.htm. Any suggestions on what Adobe tools will help with building such an animation?

    " to convert .u3d files which I am assuming most CAD applications can produce"
    Wrong. Only very few CAD application will export *.u3d. I'm not sure if SolidWorks does. For creating "animations" like the ones you linked, I'm not sure if Acrobat 3D is the right tool. What I see is a) rendered stills, switched on demand (well, the magically glowing buttons may be a looped sequence of 3 or 4 images), and b) no interactivity within the image itself.
    In my eyes you need something that simply renders CAD files. This *could* be Acrobat 3D, but its rendering abilities are limited, and its camera controls are everything but intuitive. Once rendered, you can bring the interactivity into it using e.g. Flash.
    For rendering purposes, you might want to look at the Cinema 4D Engineering Bundle (including the PolyTrans CAD converter). But this depends on the required quality of the renderings. If the simple, Open-GL-like appearance is enough, you could use Acrobat 3D.

  • Acrobat 7.0 OCR: Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture recognition service unexpectedly terminated

    Hello,
    This error occurs on some computers and but not others. I even tested it with the most basic word document, no formatting and scanned it.
    It works on a few systems but others get the message:
    Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture recognition service unexpectedly terminated.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Did 7.0 have issues?
    Thanks

    You still didn't answer for Michael the version of 7  At one time adobe prodived and standrad version and a pro version. Standard basically done the same thing as the Print to PDF feature in the Print Menu (of the Macintosh).
    Pro added features such as forms creation.
    Also the exact version number can be found in the about acrobat under the Acrobat menu.
    example for my version would be:           

  • Workaround for OCR "Unknown Error"/"Paper Capture recognition service experienced an error"

    Problem Description:
    When attempting to "Recognize Text", one of the following error messages appears:
    "Unknown Error." when using one of the "Searchable Image" or "Searchable Image (Exact)" settings, or
    "Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture recognition service experienced an error. (6)" when using the "ClearScan" setting.
    Problem Origin:
    It seems to be a compatibility issue in the PDF and not in the OCR algorithm itself, although this is speculation and not an official statement.
    Problem Workaround:
    A possible solution consists of saving the afflicted PDF pages as PNG images (lossless), opening the PNGs in Acrobat, and then performing OCR. Specifically,
    Page Thumbnails -> Right-click afflicted pages -> Extract Pages...
    File -> Open extracted pages
    File -> Save as -> Image -> PNG
    Right-click PNG files -> Convert to Adobe PDF
    Tools -> Recognize Text -> In This File
    File -> Open original PDF
    Page Thumbnails -> Right-click afflicted pages -> Replace Pages...
    This has worked for every problem instance that I've come across, and there appears to be no quality loss. If anyone else can verify this solution, I would appreciate it.

    Attempt to run Acrobat 9.5.3 OCR on MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard generates the error message:
       Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) because:
       Unable to process the page because the Paper Capture recognition service experienced and error. (17)
       Ignore future errors in this document.
    Login as Administrator, launch Acrobat, open one page PDF document without OCR, ..., OCR successful, close document, note additional warning message:
       Suit Product Activation Needed
       Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite.  To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop).
    Switch back to user account, quit and relaunch Acrobat and OCR works fine.
    Looking back at my records I see that I ran into the same error on 11/11/11 probably under Acrobat 9.4.6, but I didn't record the fix.

  • How many Licenses of Acrobat Professional do I need for Adobe LC PDF Generator

    Hi,
    At our customer site we have purchased 6 licenses of Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and have recieved a license file with the keys for Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and Adobe Acrobat Professional. We bought the license from a reseller of the product. We understand that the Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator is a server based software and needs 1 license per CPU. Each of our server (Dev, Val & Prod) have 2 CPU's so we have sufficient licenses (6). We are under the impression that this would suffice. How ever we are not sure on how many licenses we need for Acrobat Professional.
    Here is a brief description of the way we would use Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator. We are deploying a PLM system and one of the requirement is to render Word documents to PDF so we are using PDF Generator for this capability. On our Adobe servers we will install Microsoft Word, Acrobat Professional V9 Extended and the Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator. We will have around 150 users for the PLM system being deployed. The PLM system is a Web based system which means the PLM application server will be running on a Solaris server in our case. As part of the workflows in the PLM system, at the end of the workflow process, the PLM server would trigger a request to the Adobe server to convert the word document to PDF. The Adobe server processess the request and returns the PDF file that gets generated.
    Based on the above usage of the system how many licenses of Acrobat Professional do we need? We will be installing Acrobat only on the server where we install the Livecycle PDF Generator. We had a call with our purchasing person today and she cautioned us that for Adobe Acrobat Professional we might need 1 license per user of the PLM system. She has asked us to check this with the Vendor of the product. Somehow I don't think it makes sense to purchase so many Acrobat Professional licenses even though we install only once.
    So can someone tell me How does the licensing for Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator work? How many Acrobat Professional licenses we actually need? Is it based on the number of users in the system that is triggering the request? Appreciate your response on this.
    Regards,
    Ragha

    You really should talk to your Adobe Sales Rep about this.  There are all kinds of special deals, licenses and such for customers using LiveCycle.  (For instance the license for PDFG may include Acrobat licenses for certain uses).

  • Form designing for compatibility between Acrobat Reader 7 and Acrobat Professional

    I have designed a Form using LiveCycle Designer 7.0. It contains a few subforms and lot of javascripting. One of the javascript logic I am using is to display a subform when a user clicks a radio button and hide it when the user clicks another radio button. The subform contains Text field, Numeric field, Rectangle, Line, Button. This worked well with Acrobat Reader 7.
    After I installed Acrobat Professional 7, my form breaks. I did a quick test to see where it breaks and came out with the following conclusion.
    1. If the subForm contains an Image, Line, Rectangle or Circle control, the subForm rendering throws error (Adobe Acrobat 7.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close) when I click on the radio button to display the subform.
    2. If the subForm contains Text control, it is displayed even if subform is invisible.
    3. If the subForm contains Checkbox, Radio, Dropdown list, List Box, Button, Submit By Email, Submit, Print Form, Reset Form; these controls are never displayed even if subform is visible.
    Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

    Hi Dave,
    Thanks for the response.
    I need some clarification. When you say 7.0.5 version, are you expecting 7.0.5 version of Reader or Professional?
    Here's the steps I followed:
    I originally had Adobe Designer version 7, 0, 041126, 0 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and everything worked great.
    Now I have uninstalled Designer and Reader and installed
    Acrobat Professional Tryout. This installs Acrobat Professional version 7.0.0 and Adobe Designer version 7, 0, 041126, 0 (which is the same as above). Now the same forms which were working earlier are not working as expected.
    Please note that I have NOT installed Acrobat Reader 7.0.5. How do I find out what version of Reader does Designer user for PDF preview?
    If I separately download Acrobat Reader 7.0.5, how do I tell Designer to use that version for PDF preview?
    Thanks,
    Satish

  • Creating a document script for Clock in Acrobat Professional.

    Hi,
    I am trying to add a field on my PDF form which shows a continuous clock.
    I do not know how to add code to a document script in Acrobat Professional.
    "Advaned/ Javascript/ Set Document Actions" is greyed out.
    Thanks in advance,
    Damo.

    It sounds like you have Acrobat 9 or earlier?  And is this a LiveCycle form?
    In therory, clock code is very simple. It just writes the formatted time to a text field. But the details depend on the type of form, LiveCycle or AcroForm

  • Disable Auto Update in Acrobat Professional 9 for OS X

    We have a series of installations in a lab/classroom environment where we would like to disable the autoupdate feature of Acrobat Professional 9. Currently when a new user logs in the autoupdater wil launch telling the user that there's a new update available. That's great and all except that a) most users are not admins and couldn't do the update any way, b) we use Sassafras Keyserver and updating the App with IT will cause the keyserver functionality to stop which would then make us fall out of compliance with licensing, c) IT likes to make sure that ALL users are on the same version which means that we need to control when and how updates are installed.
    Is there any way to do this and then have the settings propagate to all users?

    Hi,
    There's no machine level setting to disable ARM for all users in MAC.
    However, you could set the update mode to manual using Edit->Preferences->Do not automatically download or install updates. This has to be done by each user since the setting is user specific.
    Hope this helps.
    Also, I have a small query. When Acrobat\Reader  installed as an admin is launched for a non-admin user, it requires admin credentials on first launch. Since most of your users are non-admin, how are they able to launch Acrobat\reader wihtout providing admin passwords?

  • Documentation for Acrobat X Javascript?

    Where is documentation for Javascript in Acrobat X?  The help file mentions:
    "For more information, see the JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference on www.adobe.com/go/learn_acr_javascript_en (PDF, English only).", but the linked page does not contain any information for Acrobat X.

    I do not think there have been any changes to Acrobat JavaScript in Acrobat X, so all the documentation for Acrobat 9 should work. There is an SDK for Acrobat X Portfolios that might have some new JS objects.
    I still reference the version 8 reference and the version 5 reference.

  • Downloading Acrobat Professional X for Windows

    Hi all,
    My company bought me the Acrobat Professional X for Windows around 2 years ago. Now I have relocated to another country (and uninstalled the Acrobat Professional on old computer) and brought the licence key.
